How Do You Find Stepper Motor Drivers?
The most commonly used motors are DC motors, which spin to generate electricity, but because these are imprecise, another kind of motor has to be used in machines that require a great degree of precision. Since stepper motors are specifically designed for accuracy, you will find stepper motors in some of the most commonly used pieces of computer equipment. In the hard and floppy disk drives, for example, a stepper motor moves the read or write head over the surface of your disk so you can read or transfer contents from your disk to your computer and vice versa. A stepper motor also moves the paper being fed into your printer. Stepper motors are not to be confused with servo motors, which are the motors mainly in use in robotics for radio controlled airplanes, cars, and puppets. Stepper motors come in different types and designs, with varying resolutions and winding schemes. The type of stepper motor that is used depends on the level of precision needed by the device that the stepper mo
